In this article we have written about .Cesar Virus Ransomware – a virus that belongs to the malicious software family of Ransomware and has likely even become the reason for file encryption of some really important data on your PC. But what does this evil category of malware really represent? The kind of programs in the Ransomware group are not just simple viruses. This dangerous category is also one of the fastest expanding virus families in the cyber world. There are three main subgroups:

(MOBILE) SCREEN-LOCKING VIRUSES: they could target smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, tablets, and other portable devices, making you unable to unlock your screen and access anything on the infected device until you pay the needed ransom.

RANSOMWARE USED AGAINST CYBER CRIMINALS: some of the official authorities might use Ransomware products to cope with dangerous online criminals. For example, the people who violate copyright policies or laws could be stopped from doing it, and are going to to pay for whatever wrong they have done with the help of programs like these. Nevertheless, that’s the only case when software like this is used properly and for decent purposes.;

FILE-TARGETTING VERSIONS (also known as FILE-ENCRYPTING): that’s the most famous subtype of that malware. Its members are able to break into your system, and after that gather different details about the data you use most often. After the completion of that, these files are normally encrypted with a key that is really complex. After all of the files have been encoded, you will typically receive an awful notification to inform you how to pay the requested money.

Which subgroup of Ransomware does .Cesar Virus belong to?

It is a version of the data-targeting malware. The representatives of this subcategory usually conquer your system with or without the help of a Trojan, which is another version of malware. Generally, what actually happens is that the Trojan virus provides the passing of the Ransomware virus inside your PC. After both of these wicked programs have succeeded in entering your computer, they normally continue with their activities which are as follows – scanning of all your drives and encrypting the most frequently used data on them.
